A mass shooting occurred at a prominent LGBT Orlando night club early Sunday morning. At least 50 people have been killed and at least 53 have been injured in one of the largest such tragedies in American history.

As officials continue to investigate the incident, prominent politicians are speaking out about the events. Unsurprisingly, a majority of those in government who’ve made public statements have omitted the fact that the venue, Pulse, celebrates minorities and the LGBT community and had been hosting a Latin night when the shooting occurred.

It’s particularly telling that Trump would merely cite facts rather than express condolences regarding the shooting. Whereas former GOP candidate Marco Rubio appeared to put aside his staunch, anti-LGBT policies in the face of a mass shooting, the Donald simply called the event “really bad.”

Late Sunday morning, Trump issued two follow-up tweets appearing to use more buzzwords and push his opaque policies rather than sending his regards to those affected by the tragedy.

Horrific incident in FL. Praying for all the victims & their families. When will this stop? When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?

“I’ve gotta tell you, 25 years ago, I believed in this country that we should not be selling automatic weapons which are designed to kill people,” Sanders continues. “We’ve got to do everything that we can on top of that to make sure that guns do not fall into the hands of people who should not have them: criminals, some people who are mentally ill. So, that struggle continues.”
